Efficient, Effortless and Fast
Why do discerning yacht owners in Toronto choose SeaWise? Because our system transforms a stressful chore into a simple, one-person job.
1. Fast: From Platform to Water in Minutes
When you arrive at your anchorage—whether it’s a quiet bay in the Thousand Islands or the beach at Hanlan’s Point—you shouldn’t waste 20 minutes setting up the tender.
- Ready to Launch: Because the motor stays attached, you don’t need to mount an outboard while leaning over the water.
- Instant Action: Simply lower the system. The SeaWise boat davit crane mechanics handle the geometry, safely pivoting your dinghy davit system from its vertical storage position directly into the water, ready to start.
2. Efficient: Reclaim Your Swim Platform
On Lake Ontario, the swim platform is your patio. It’s where you swim, board guests, and relax. Traditional davit systems for boats—like chocks or cranes—often block this valuable space.
- Smart Design: Our system stores the dinghy on its side (vertical) on the transom.
- Zero Obstruction: This leaves your swim grid almost completely clear. Walk, swim, or barbecue without tripping over boat davit parts or a sprawling inflatable.
3. Effortless: No Heavy Lifting Required
Forget the back strain of wrestling a 90lb outboard motor. The SeaWise design is a true davit boat lift that does the heavy lifting for you.
- Patented Rotation: As you winch the boat up, our system automatically rotates the engine to keep it vertical.
- Mechanical Advantage: Whether you choose the Manual System (with a 25:1 gear reduction) or the Electric System (push-button), a single person—regardless of strength—can safely retrieve the boat.

Engineered for the Great Lakes: Our Models
We offer two primary configurations, both crafted from electro-polished 316L Stainless Steel to ensure your yacht looks pristine at the dock.
The Manual System (Robust & Reliable)
A favorite for mid-sized vessels and small boat davit crane needs.
- What it is: A hand-cranked system using high-efficiency gears.
- Capacity: Lifts up to 450 lbs.
- The Benefit: It uses a 25:1 worm gear reduction, meaning minimal physical effort is required to hoist the tender.
The Electric System (The Ultimate Luxury)
Ideally suited for dinghies over 450 lbs common in Toronto marinas.
- What it is: A fully automated boat davit system with electric power.
- Capacity: Handles heavy loads up to 800 lbs.
- The Benefit: Complete single-handed operation. Press a button, and the dinghy lifts and locks into place.
Custom Fit for Your Vessel
Every boat hull is different. A generic “one-size-fits-all” boat davit rarely works perfectly. At SeaWise, we specialize in custom mounting brackets. We have specific experience outfitting the brands most popular in Ontario, including:
Express Cruisers:
SeaRay, Bayliner, Chaparral, Doral, Sabre, Back Cove
Trawlers:
Custom configurations for Ranger Tugs and Nordic Tugs, American Tugs, CHB, Kadey Krogen, Grand Banks
Cruisers and Motor Yachts:
Meridian, Coastal Craft, TollyCraft, Bertram, and more
Note on Inflatables:
We also supply custom brackets for inflatable boat davit systems, ensuring a secure hold on Zodiac, Highfield, AB, and Walker Bay and more
Designed for Canadian Winters
We understand the Toronto boating lifecycle. The season ends in October, and your boat needs to be shrink-wrapped or stored in a heated hall. Unlike welded davit master boat lifts, the SeaWise system is designed with a quick-release mechanism.
- No Winterization Required
- Winter-Safe: No need to remove and store dinghy and outboard.
- Shrink-Wrap Friendly: Your marine service team can easily wrap the transom, Dinghy and SeaWise davit system.
